CouchDB is unique in the database world because it makes data conflicts first-class citizens of its data model. Normally, databases and applications built on them do a large amount of work to avoid doing this. In many scenarios, this leads to subtle errors and occasional data loss. In CouchDB this means: no data is ever randomly lost and you can always make sure you have access to your user’s data. The only downside: you have to actively embrace conflicts and prepare for them. But don’t worry, it is not a lot of work. conflicts A document conflict manifests as a _conflicts field in your doc that you get if you query your doc with the conflicts=true option and a conflict exists. We also use the revs=true option to get a little more information about what is going on. Normally, you don’t s…  ( 8 min )

The Yggdrasil Network is an experimental, end‑to‑end encrypted IPv6 overlay that links nodes into a self‑healing, decentralized mesh. It’s lightweight, transport‑agnostic, and operates without central servers — ideal for privacy‑minded networking, resilient communication, and experimentation. Once Yggdrasil is installed and running, you can join the mesh instantly by adding a public peer: sudo yggdrasilctl addPeer uri=tcp://51.15.204.214:12345 You can also choose from the public peers list for more options. Find your Yggdrasil IPv6 address: ip addr Look for the address starting with 20... (the mesh prefix). Use that address to connect to other nodes directly. For example: ping 201:f095:565e:fe6c:a7f2:c641:ecad:78c1 💡 Tip: Once connected, you can run services bound to your Yggdrasil IPv6 for secure, mesh‑only access.  ( 5 min )

GitHub Home It was another Black Friday. At 3 AM, my phone started screaming like crazy. 😱 It wasn't my alarm; it was the monitoring alert. Our flagship e-commerce service, the system we had poured six months of hard work into, had crumbled like a paper house in the face of peak traffic. CPU at 100%, memory overflows, and logs filled with timeout errors. 💸 That night, we lost millions in sales and, more importantly, our users' trust. It was one of the darkest nights of my career. 🔥 From that day on, I understood a principle: performance is not an option; it is the lifeline of a service.

Agile project management is a flexible, iterative approach that helps teams adapt quickly and deliver value faster. The idea of Agile started in the software world. In 2001, a group of developers put together the Agile Manifesto, which highlighted values like teamwork, adaptability, and working solutions over rigid processes. Today, Agile has moved far beyond software and is used in industries from marketing to product design. At its core, Agile is about: People over processes --- trust your team to work together. Real results over paperwork --- progress matters more than documentation. Collaboration over contracts --- keep customers involved. Adapting over sticking to the plan --- adjust when things change. Agile projects are split into short cycles (often called sprints) that usu…  ( 6 min )

Caching is one of those invisible building blocks that keeps applications fast, reliable, and efficient. If you’ve ever used node-cache, you know how handy it can be — but also how limited. That’s why I built flexi-cache-node : a zero-dependency, TypeScript-ready caching library for Node.js with modern features baked in. Why I built it 💡 I needed a cache that: could expire keys (TTL) reliably, had LRU eviction so memory wouldn’t blow up, supported tags so I could bulk-delete groups of keys, could persist data to disk securely, worked seamlessly in both JavaScript and TypeScript, and most importantly… had zero dependencies. Instead of bolting these features on top of node-cache, I decided to start fresh. What makes flexi-cache-node different ✨ -- ⏱ TTL (Time-To-Live) per key o…  ( 6 min )

The Internship Promise: "Assistance" vs. "Guaranteed" This is the most crucial factor. Almost every platform promises "placement assistance," but this can be a vague term, often meaning little more than resume workshops or forwarding your CV.

The Gold Standard: Platforms like AiWebix take this a step further by offering a guaranteed paid internship.

When it comes to Japan’s kei trucks and vans, the Honda Acty has long been one of the most versatile and dependable vehicles in its category. First introduced in 1977, the Acty line became synonymous with reliability and practicality, often serving as the backbone for small businesses, farmers, and delivery services across Japan. While earlier models like the HA3 and HA4 built a reputation for rugged efficiency, the HA8 and HA9 models, produced between 2009 and 2022, represented a more modern, refined evolution of Honda’s kei truck design.

Serverless architecture represents a paradigm shift in deploying and managing applications. This approach not only alters the way companies design solutions but also significantly redefines the cost structure in cloud services. Serverless computing, contrary to what the name suggests, does not eliminate servers but abstracts their management from the users. It is a cloud-computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of infrastructure and accompanying resources. Essentially, developers can build and run applications and services without the overhead of managing the infrastructure typically associated with computing. This distribution of responsibilities can influence and potentially reduce software development time. Event-driven and S…  ( 22 min )

GitHub Home I still remember the bug that kept me up all night. A payment callback endpoint, when handling a rare, exceptional status code from a third-party payment gateway, had a .catch() that was accidentally omitted from a Promise chain. The result? No logs, no alerts, and the service itself didn't crash. It just "silently" failed. That user's order status was forever stuck on "processing," and we were completely unaware. It wasn't until a week later during a reconciliation that we discovered hundreds of these "silent orders," resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in losses. 💸 The lesson was painful. It made me realize that in software engineering, we probably spend less than 10% of our time on the happy path. The other 90% of the complexity comes from how to handle all sorts of e…  ( 9 min )

Many businesses start with a static website—simple, fast, but difficult to maintain.

AI feels like magic until you get your first bill. When teams discuss whether to rent a general-purpose LLM (like GPT, Gemini, or Claude) or build their own smaller domain-specific model, the conversation often gets stuck on price tags and technical complexity. But there’s another critical detail that many articles gloss over: general LLMs don’t magically know your company’s data. If you want them to answer real product or order questions, you have to wire them into your systems. This blog takes a clear look at both paths, using the same example of retail chatbot answering "Where’s my order?"—to highlight the tradeoffs. At first glance, this feels like the easy button. You call GPT or Gemini’s API, pass in a customer question, and get a natural-language answer. But here’s the reality: GPT …  ( 7 min )

Last month, my client's WooCommerce store went down. Not from a DDoS attack, not from bad code, but from Google and AI crawlers doing their job a little too enthusiastically. The culprit? Uncached WooCommerce filter pages being hammered by bots, each request hitting the database directly. The solution? A simple WordPress plugin that took me an afternoon to write and has since saved multiple sites from the same fate. It started innocently enough. Server response times began creeping up. Then came the alerts: CPU usage at 90%, memory exhausted, MySQL connections maxed out.

Everyone's talking about Google’s MAD privacy algorithm, but the real win is more signal from rare data without exposing anyone’s identity at scale. Most teams think privacy means dumber models. It doesn’t. The trick is how you weight each data point. MAD flips the old rule of “treat everything the same.” It shares the spotlight so rare but important patterns stand out. Common events still count, but they don’t drown the edge cases. You get richer insights and stronger privacy at the same time. Think of it as turning up the mic on quiet truths, without naming the speaker. Example. A fraud team trains on 10 million records. The rare chargeback pattern shows up in 0.2% of cases. With spotlight-style weighting, recall on rare fraud jumps 34% and false negatives drop 22%. Privacy stays intact because no single user is exposed or traced. ↓ How to apply this fast. • Map your rare events or long-tail segments. • Set a clear privacy budget and logging rules. • Reweight contributions so rare, high-value signals have a louder voice. • A/B test against your baseline and ship only if lift beats privacy cost. ↳ If you cannot explain the privacy setting in one sentence, it is too complex. ⚡ Faster detection of edge cases. ⚡ Less bias toward the average user. ⚡ More trust from customers and regulators. What would you build if you could learn from rare data without touching identities?  ( 6 min )

If you’ve tried building with today’s best AI models, you’ve felt it: tokens aren’t free. Powerful models can turn a rough idea into working code in minutes, yet the meter is always running—and the best rate limits are often behind paywalls. That tension is shaping who gets to learn, experiment, and ship with AI. The money part nobody likes to talk about Why this matters right now But access is uneven A practical playbook to build without bill shock Match the model to the task. Explore with cost-efficient models; upgrade only when quality truly matters (e.g., gnarly refactors). Keep prompts lean. Shorten context, link files selectively, and summarize to control token growth. Batch and cache. Where available, batch or cache responses to cut per-token costs. Adopt an “agentic diff” workflow. Ask AI to propose diffs—not whole files—to reduce retries and output tokens. Explore cost-offset options. Some tools experiment with sponsored devtools that subsidize or offset token spend when you pick a stack recommendation during coding. It’s a promising way to let more people participate in vibe coding without upfront costs (e.g., what we’re piloting at CheaperCursor). If you’re curious about trying vibe coding without cost anxiety, you can test this sponsored-stack approach at https://www.cheapercursor.com —no pressure, just another path to build more and pay less. The upside of broader access Lowering the cost barrier isn’t only about saving money; it’s how we widen the funnel for new builders. Vibe coding lets beginners ship simple apps and lets pros automate the slog. When more people can afford to practice daily, you get better code, faster learning, and a healthier open-source ecosystem. That’s a win for everyone.  ( 7 min )

Three months ago, I left my job at PaloAlto Networks and started completely focusing on my own startup. It was not an easy decision for me. The job was very peaceful and flexible. But, building my own startup was always my dream and I can't hold it any more. Around 3 years back, my friend Sachin Neravath shared an idea of implementing price localization for digital products. We started it as a side project. We developed and released the product. Sachin quit his job and started concentrating completely on the product, that really worked. Within a short span of time we got good traction. Multiple payment providers reached out to us for integration and everything went well, we got many popular creators and some of the fastest growing SaaS companies as customers.

Let's step beyond the scope of GDAL and explore the features of emscripten. In computing, a File System is a method for managing and accessing data in the form of files. Data is stored on a variety of hardware devices, each with its own way of accessing data. The file system abstracts the complexities of data management and access into a unified interface, allowing users to manage and access stored data without understanding the underlying physical device parameters. Different operating systems have developed various file systems over time—for example, Linux supports ext, ext2, etc.; Windows supports NTFS, FAT32, etc.; and macOS supports HFS+, APFS, etc. These are not entirely compatible with each other. To enable software to run across different UNIX-like operating systems, the IEEE devel…  ( 9 min )

Have you ever wondered what really happens when you type a URL in your browser and hit enter in a Laravel application? Behind the scenes, Laravel does a lot of work before returning the response you see. This process is called the Request Lifecycle — and understanding it can help you debug, optimize, and write cleaner code. Let’s break it down step by step (without overcomplicating it). Everything starts with public/index.php. This file is the entry point for every request. Think of it as Laravel’s “gatekeeper.” All requests — no matter what route you hit — will pass through this file first. Laravel has two kernels: HTTP Kernel → Handles web requests. Console Kernel → Handles Artisan commands. For browser requests, the HTTP Kernel takes charge. It loads important parts of the framework, li…  ( 7 min )

O que é? O Motor Fan L9110 é um módulo pequeno e de baixo custo muito utilizado em projetos de robótica diy, especialmente em projetos "bombeiros" visando conter pequenos incêndios. Ele atua como um intermediário entre um microcontrolador (no nosso caso, o arduino) e o motor do ventilador, permitindo que você controle tanto a velocidade de rotação da hélice quanto a direção. E isso se dá por causa do circuito L9110 que ele possui, constituído de duas pontes h. Ao aplicar uma tensão em um motor de qualquer uma das duas direções,o usuário é capaz de direcionar a rotação da hélice. Tudo isso graças ao circuito eletrônico da ponte H. Podemos ver que o módulo possui 4 pinos de conexão: VCC: conectamos este pino na tensão de alimentação do Arduino. No caso deste módulo, 5v. GND: terra. Conect…  ( 6 min )

Recently, I developed a somewhat experimental CLI parser library called Optique. While it has now been released up to version 0.2.0, I think it's an interesting idea worth sharing in this article. Optique was influenced by two very different libraries. One is Haskell's optparse-applicative library, which taught me that CLI parsers can be parser combinators, and that this approach is incredibly useful. The other is Zod, which TypeScript users are already familiar with. While I got the core idea from optparse-applicative, Haskell and TypeScript are such different languages that there are significant differences in how APIs are structured. So for API design, I referenced various validation libraries including Zod. Optique expresses what a CLI should look like by assembling small parsers and p…  ( 8 min )

Why are all gems now built in 1980? Bundler v2.7.0 had a change that went largely unnoticed: reproducible builds. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ Previously biulds were only reproducible if you set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in the env. Gems that relied on reproducible builds, like stone_checksums, wouldn't work without it and enforced it. But in bundler v2.7+ SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not required, so I've released stone_checksums v1.0.2, with support for both types. And now all ruby gems are built in the same second in 1980.  ( 5 min )

Key Concepts Karat The measure of gold purity, expressed in parts per 24. The gold sovereign is a British gold coin with a specific gold content. Gold Content: 7.322 grams Gross Weight (including copper): 7.988 grams The fee charged by jewelers for crafting raw gold into jewelry. It includes the labor cost and design charges. The additional gold or material lost during the jewelry-making process. Jewelers often charge a wastage fee, which is added to the making charges. It refers to the incremental increase in worth or utility imparted to raw gold through processes such as refining, shaping, and crafting it into products. This value addition enhances the desirability and market price of the gold beyond its base commodity value. A certification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) that verifies the purity of gold. It ensures that the gold content is as claimed by the jeweler. 916 represents the purity Gold Jewellery Gold Coins/Bars It is offered by jewelers to help individuals accumulate gold over time. Returns are in the form of gold, not cash. These are government-issued securities that allow investors to invest in gold without physically owning it. These bonds are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on behalf of the Government of India. The bond has a fixed tenure of 8 years with an option to exit after the 5th year on interest payment dates. SGBs offer a fixed interest rate of 2.5% per annum on the initial investment amount, payable semi-annually. The capital gains on redemption are tax-free. However, interest income is taxable as per the investor’s income tax slab. It is an ETF listed on stock exchanges. It allows investors to buy and sell units of gold in a dematerialized (demat) form, similar to shares.

LSTMs and GRUs: Taming the Vanishing Gradient Beast in Recurrent Neural Networks Imagine trying to remember a long, complex story. You wouldn't just remember the last sentence; you'd need to retain information from earlier parts to understand the narrative's flow. This is precisely the challenge Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) face. They're designed to process sequential data, but standard RNNs struggle to remember information from the distant past due to the infamous "vanishing gradient" problem. This is where Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) come to the rescue. They're advanced RNN architectures specifically designed to overcome this limitation, unlocking powerful capabilities in various machine learning applications. Standard RNNs process seque…  ( 10 min )

MPV is an incredible open-source media player, but let’s face it—for newcomers, setting it up can feel overwhelming. Picking the right download source, finding the perfect zip file, figuring out how to extract a 7z file, and then hunting down plugins via Google or online forums? It’s a lot. That’s why I created mpv-build, a website that lets you build a custom MPV player right in your browser. No privacy worries here either—it doesn’t collect any of your info (mostly because I can’t afford a server!). You pick your UI, add features like yt-dlp for remote video playback, search for scripts, and download a ready-to-go zip file. Unzip it, and you’re done! mpv-build is all about making MPV accessible. It’s a browser-based tool that helps you craft a personalized MPV media player without the us…  ( 7 min )

A introdução massiva de Inteligência Artificial (IA) no desenvolvimento de software transformou o trabalho dos engenheiros. Ferramentas como GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT e CodeWhisperer aceleram a escrita de código, mas também levantam dúvidas: a IA gera código de baixa qualidade ou mesmo inseguro? Seria ela apenas uma mão de obra extra na construção de software, ou um novo vetor de ataques? Neste artigo, exploro como a IA pode ser tanto ameaça quanto aliada da segurança de software. Discuto riscos como falhas de validação de entrada e geração de vulnerabilidades, mas também trago aspectos de como a própria IA está sendo usada para reforçar a segurança (por exemplo, SAST baseado em IA, geração de casos de teste via fuzzing, etc.). For fim, busco conexões com ideias da filosofia grega clássica, …  ( 14 min )

A Arquitetura (EDA) é um padrão arquitetural onde componentes de software comunicam-se através da produção e consumo de eventos. Este paradigma promove baixo acoplamento, alta escalabilidade e responsividade em sistemas distribuídos modernos. Um evento é uma mudança significativa de estado em um sistema. Ele representa algo que aconteceu no passado e é imutável. Exemplos comuns incluem: Evento de Negócio: "Pedido foi criado", "Pagamento foi processado" Evento de Sistema: "Usuário fez login", "Arquivo foi carregado" Evento de Domínio: "Produto foi adicionado ao catálogo", "Estoque foi atualizado" Imutáveis: Uma vez criados, não podem ser alterados Timestamped: Possuem registro temporal de quando ocorreram Contextuais: Carregam informações relevantes sobre a mudança de estado Assíncronos: …  ( 7 min )

Neste post vou explicar da maneira mais burra e simplificada o que é Clean Architecture, pois é um tema meio complexo e cheio de variáveis. Logo, esse post é pra eu mesmo me relembrar de como são as coisas, mas isso talvez ajude voce também! Esse modelo de arquitetura de software, assim como os modelos de cebola e hexagonal buscam isolar as regras de negócio do mundo externo com camadas bem definadas. Isso faz com que a gente proteja o Core da nossa aplicação e não fique dependente de frameworks, bancos de dados, etc. O que precisa ter sempre em mente é que as dependencias são sempre de fora pra dentro!!!! Abaixo segue a famosa imagem de representação Estão no mais profundo Core da aplicação, aonde irão encapsular as regras do negocio ou a lógica central. Responsável por implementar de forma concreta as regras de negocio e manipular as entidades, e também a comunicação entre o Core da aplicação com a camada mais externa. É camada é responsável por adaptar os dados entre o mundo externo(UI, Web, etc) para dentro da logica de negócio Camada de dispositivos externos que vão interagir com a aplicação. Vale destacar que ela deve ser substituída sem que exista impacto nas camadas internas. Aqui mostra um resumo de dados que devem estar presentes em cada camada. Isso é uma regra, porém pode ser seguida. Fonte: Jose Carlos Macoratti Se liga ai mano, eu sempre ficava quebrando cabeça quando via um projeto novo e cada hora com um tipo de nome. A real é que não faz diferença nenhuma, o importante mesmo é a arquitetura do software, ou seja, a estrutura lógica.  ( 6 min )

Recently vibe coding has gotten a bad rap, with people comparing it to fast food-short term gratification that comes with long term consequences. However, what people don't realize is that AI agents aren't magic tools that can create fully functional backends without human insight and judgment. There is no "one shot" prompt you can give AI to create the exact product you are thinking of. This same logic applies when creating AI agents. Vibe coded or not, the more thought and structure you bring to the process, the more likely you are to get something that actually works. Add guardrails Break big tasks into smaller goals Validate aggressively Final Thoughts The reality is that AI agents can speed up development if used thoughtfully. They’re not replacements for design. Instead, they’re tools that amplify the quality of your inputs. Garbage in, garbage out still applies. By setting clear goals, defining constraints, and rigorously validating outputs, you can make agent based workflows even more powerful. The future of development isn't just replacing code with agents, but to allow developers to become conductors rather than builders when creating projects.  ( 6 min )

Today I'll show you how to set up a simple videoconferencing server. You can use it to call relatives or friends. The server is called Galene (github). It was originally developed during the pandemic at the University of Paris as a tool for online teaching. Over time, its functionality expanded, and now it's closer to Jitsi Meet in terms of features. Jitsi Meet is the most widely used open-source videoconferencing server. However, it is made up of many components, it is harder to install and needs much more powerful hardware to run. Galene, on the other hand, is written in Go in a minimalist style, and is essentially a single binary file that you can just run on a budget VPS (yes, you'll also need certificates and a couple of configuration files). According to the developers, it can even b…  ( 9 min )

In software development, building maintainable, scalable, and robust code is the ultimate goal. The SOLID principles, proposed by Robert C. Martin (also known as Uncle Bob), provide a foundation for achieving this goal. How can these principles be applied to the Go programming language? Known for its simplicity and pragmatism, Go allows us to explore how its idiomatic style aligns with SOLID principles to produce clean and efficient software. “A class should have only one reason to change.” In Go, SRP translates into designing functions, structs, and packages with a single responsibility. This ensures that the code is easier to understand, test, and maintain.

Can I Let AI Work While I Drink Coffee? A Hard-Learned Lesson "Can I let AI work while I drink coffee?" That was the question I asked myself recently. The dream is simple: AI takes care of the heavy lifting, while I sit back and enjoy a latte. The reality, as I found out, is far more complicated. I was working on a microservice that had to call downstream legacy systems. Downstream system A only supported SOAP 1.1. Downstream system B only supported SOAP 1.2. When I ran the service, I got a nasty 500 Internal Server Error. So I turned to AI for help. AI quickly generated three suggestions and was about to try them one by one: Change the payload value from 20000 to 20000.00. Add a non-mandatory field into the payload. Switch the client to use the correct SOAP 1.2 class ins…  ( 6 min )

Clean Up Your React Code: How the Object Lookup Pattern Replaces Endless Ifs Werliton Silva ・ Aug 19 #webdev #react #beginners #programming  ( 5 min )

Picking a single LLM provider can feel like settling down on the first date. New models are released, user preferences change, prices move, rate limits are hit, and latency spikes appear at the worst moments. If your app depends on fast Time‑To‑First‑Token and predictable throughput, brand loyalty won’t save you when an outage occurs or an inference provider decides to lower model latency or decrease dedicated compute for a model. This post argues for model polyamory—by design. Instead of binding your app to one endpoint, put a router in front and treat providers as interchangeable parts. I use OpenRouter to fan out across multiple providers, handle retries and failures automatically, and let price and performance compete in real time. The result is fewer incidents, smoother latency, and t…  ( 7 min )

It's everywhere, it's eating up every other dev topic debate: learn to dev with AI or you'll be replaced. As a dev, I can't help but feel threatened by these claims. Way more than I should. I mean, I love hacking around with the new cool toy as much as anybody. I use code assistants all day long, from Cursor tab to RefactAI. I felt so clever when I automated ticket creation with Jira MCP with full codebase and commit history knowledge. I felt not so clever when my "instant" refactoring took me a full day to review and rewrite to fix "just that little bug". I love automating my work as much as the next dev, but I also love to measure the results of automation. So when big names come up with dull articles about the "4 levels of dev with AI" which is that close to "top 5 agents to pop up a un…  ( 10 min )

Introduction Scalability and high availability are crucial for modern web applications. In my recent project, I learned how to distribute incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances using AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB). In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of setting up an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that routes traffic to Ubuntu servers running Nginx. Prerequisites Before we begin, make sure you have: An active AWS account At least two EC2 instances running web server software (I used Nginx on Ubuntu) Basic understanding of AWS VPC and security groups Step 1: Understanding Load Balancer Types AWS offers three types of load balancers: Application Load Balancer (ALB) - Best for HTTP/HTTPS traffic with advanced routing capabilities Network Load Balancer (NLB) - Ultra-hi…  ( 8 min )

Introduction I've been hanging out in the AWS ecosystem for a while, and one of the things I've enjoyed is how Bedrock Knowledge Bases give you a relatively turnkey way to stand up RAG pipelines without duct taping half a dozen services together. The catch has always been vector storage. Until now, your out-of-the-box choices were either OpenSearch (simple but pricey) or Aurora Serverless (flexible but configuration-heavy, even if it scales to zero). In July '25, AWS dropped something new into preview: Amazon S3 Vectors. It's a native vector store designed to be dirt cheap (AWS claims up to 90% lower cost than other options) at the expense of some performance. Latencies are higher, but for many workloads, and especially experimentation or pre-production it should be "good enough." Right …  ( 11 min )

Once upon a time, there was a developer named Tchaca. He was a chill guy, wrote mostly clean code, and had a soft spot for strong coffee and React components. But there was one thing that haunted our hero: endless conditionals. Picture a component that renders different types of cards depending on the user type. Tchaca used to write something like this: if (user.type === 'admin') { return ; } else if (user.type === 'guest') { return ; } else if (user.type === 'subscriber') { return ; } else { return ; } It looked innocent enough. But over time, the component turned into a monster of if-else, switch-case, and developer tears. Until one stormy night filled with tense deploys, Tchaca discovered the Table-Driven Method.

What is Docker Docker is an open source platform that enables developers and engineers to build, deploy, run and manage containers. Containers are standardized, executable components that combine application source code, together with the operating System libraries and dependencies required to run that code in any environment. containers enable multiple application components to share the resources of a single instance of the host Operating System. Consistency: Docker deals with the infamous headache of "It works on my machine" problem. This problem occurs when an application works on the developers laptop, but when the application is deployed in to a server or the cloud, something breaks. Docker helps to package everything the app need into a container Image. That container image wil…  ( 8 min )

But after using them for a week, I noticed something strange: I was writing less code… but also thinking less deeply about how my systems were structured. It made me wonder: If AI takes over too much of the “grunt work,” will developers risk losing their edge in problem-solving and creativity? Do you see AI as a tool to enhance developer skills, or is there a danger of it making us too dependent?  ( 5 min )

GitHub Home I still vividly remember that Friday midnight. I, a man in my forties who should have been at home enjoying the weekend, was instead in a cold server room, the hum of fans buzzing in my ears, and a stream of error logs scrolling endlessly on the terminal before me. What was supposed to be a "simple" version update had turned into a disaster. The service wouldn't start, the rollback script failed, and on the other end of the phone was the furious roar of a client. At that moment, staring at the screen, I had only one thought: "There has to be a better way." We old-timers grew up in an era when the term "maintenance window" was a fact of life. We were used to pausing services in the dead of night, replacing files, and then praying that everything would go smoothly. Deployment was…  ( 11 min )

Many think IaC (Infrastructure as Code) is only for AWS, Azure, or other cloud platforms.

If you've ever finished a task at the very last minute, despite having more than enough time, you've already experienced Parkinson's Law. It's the idea that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." Cyril Northcote Parkinson first described the concept in Economist in 1955, and it has since become a well-cited principle in productivity studies. If you give yourself a week to do a task, you'll take a week. If you give yourself four months, you'll still find a way to make it last four months. And in software engineering, where deadlines, sprints, and priorities shift constantly, this principle shows up everywhere. At one company, we started working on an API feature that should have taken two or three weeks (at most). Straightforward stuff, wire up a couple of endpoints, …  ( 8 min )

Go automatically manages memory with the heap and a concurrent mark-and-sweep garbage collector. Escape analysis decides whether variables live on the stack or heap. GC uses a tricolor abstraction (white, gray, black) to track objects. Runs concurrently with goroutines using write barriers to stay consistent. You can tune performance with GOGC, GOMEMLIMIT, and SetMemoryLimit. Result: less manual memory management, better scalability, and predictable performance. 🚀 Exploring Heap Memory and Garbage Collection in Go Memory management is a critical part of building scalable applications. Go takes care of this for developers by automatically allocating memory on the heap and reclaiming unused objects through its garbage collector (GC). Unlike many other languages, Go’s GC is concurrent, non-…  ( 6 min )

When working with Go, performance is often a key consideration. Whether you’re building a small CLI tool or a large-scale backend service, understanding how your code consumes CPU, memory, and other resources is essential. In this post, we’ll walk through Go’s built-in profiling tools, how to use them, and how to interpret their results. 🚀 What is Profiling in Go? Profiling is the process of analyzing the runtime behavior of your Go program to identify: Where the program spends most of its time Which functions are the most expensive in terms of CPU or memory How resources like goroutines and mutexes are being used This insight helps developers optimize performance and reduce bottlenecks. 🛠️ Go’s Built-in Profiling Tools Go comes with powerful profiling utilities in the standard library, …  ( 7 min )

The Signals that were Developer Preview in Angular v17 are now stable 🙂‍↕️ These include the view/content queries (viewChild, viewChildren, contentChild, contentChildren) and also output. https://lnkd.in/dN_kPEhu What’s new in Angular 19? 🎗 linkedSignal() Remember computed() signals? linkedSignal() works similarly, but it’s writable. It derives its value from another signal You can also manually update it anytime you want Example: const count = linkedSignal(() => list().length); The next three signals are designed for reactive handling of async data, providing signals for loading, error, and value states. 🎗 resource() A reactive API for managing async data (HTTP calls, loading, etc). Provides loading, error, and value states as Signals Supports reload and abort unnecessary operations (abortSignal) Usage: things.value(); 🎗 httpResource() A specialized version of resource() for HTTP requests using Angular HttpClient. const things = httpResource({ Access states the same way: things.value(); 🎗 rxResource() For when you want to keep using RxJS Observables within Signals. things.value(); 🐧 Quick comparison resource() → base API, you can build any resource (not just HTTP) httpResource() → ready-to-use specialization for HTTP requests using Angular HttpClient rxResource() → specialization for RxJS Observables to work seamlessly in the Signals ecosystem ⚠️ All these new Signals in Angular 19 are Developer Preview.

What changed? ☕️ Well, as of this version, signal, effect, and computed are now stable and have officially graduated from Developer Preview ✨ Plus, several new types of Signals hit the stage—some stable, some still in Developer Preview. 🟢 Stable Signals 🎗 input() Works like @Input—used to pass data from parent to child components. 🎗 model() Supports two-way binding natively with Signals. 🟠 Developer Preview Signals 🎗 output() Works like @Output—used to emit data from child components or notify the parent. 🎗 viewChild() & viewChildren() Equivalent to the old @ViewChild and @ViewChildren. 🎗 contentChild() & contentChildren() Access the first/all projected elements from the parent (). The last four Signals are called Signal Queries. https://lnkd.in/dK3p8wAk  ( 6 min )

Sure, it’s a bit rudimentary, but honestly, I like it 🪵 Alright, let’s dive into the core types of Signals in their first version, v16: 🎗 signal() Stores a reactive, writable value. A bit funny when we mix Arabic terms with programming, but here’s the explanation: You can update the value in two ways: signal.update() → modifies the value based on the previous value signal.set() → sets a new value directly, without relying on the old value 🎗 computed() A value derived from an existing signal, reactive but read-only. It depends on other signals in your code and cannot be modified directly using set() or update(). 🎗 effect() Executes a side effect whenever a dependent signal changes. For example, in the image, when the count signal changes, it automatically logs a value to the console. Important note: In v16, Signals are still in Developer Preview / PoC stage. And that’s it! If you’re still unclear about how it works, check out this post: https://lnkd.in/dvFG2P3d  ( 6 min )

Ever since I dove into a major enterprise RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) project, I’ve learned that it takes more than just “GPT and coffee” to succeed. RAG essentially means hooking your LLM up to your own data. As AWS puts it, RAG lets a model “reference an authoritative knowledge base outside of its training data”. In practice that means integrating tools for code assistance, data indexing, orchestration, and monitoring – so your AI stays accurate and reliable. Firecrawl’s RAG overview aptly notes that this approach uses “company documents… alongside the general knowledge built into LLMs, making AI responses more accurate and reliable.” I write this from personal experience: here are the key tools I always keep at my fingertips for big RAG projects. 1.

Note: This article was generated with the help of ChatGPT (an AI by OpenAI). The content is based on my questions and the AI’s explanations, structured into an article format. Satellite data analysis—often called Remote Sensing or Earth Observation—is a powerful way to understand our planet. From monitoring crops to tracking droughts, satellites provide a bird’s-eye view of Earth in different wavelengths of light. If you’re new, terms like NDVI, EVI, vegetation index, or spectral bands can feel confusing. In this article, we’ll break down the essentials in a simple way. Satellites don’t directly capture “NDVI images” or “vegetation maps.” Instead, they record reflectance: how much light is reflected from Earth’s surface in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Hey everyone! I'm a senior developer with nearly 20 years of experience, but I'm pretty new to the open-source world. I wanted to share the story of my first major library. After 5 years of intensive development in TypeScript, I switched jobs about a year ago and found myself deep in the Java ecosystem. I had my preconceptions, but I have to admit: with modern frameworks and libraries, the developer experience is excellent. One library, in particular, became a daily tool for me: MapStruct. It's a fantastic code generator for mapping one object to another. When I found myself working on Node.js or React projects again, I really missed its power and simplicity. I looked for an open-source equivalent in the JavaScript/TS world, but nothing quite fit my needs. So, I decided to build it myself.…  ( 7 min )

NOTE: These are musings as I navigate the world of AI. I suspect some blogs will be more linear than others. I find all the AI hype exhausting. Ok, most hype I find exhausting because it rarely lives up to the hype. Then it’s just a giant pile of disappointment that I need to fake smile through someone’s excitement. I’m not a fan. That said, there is no way to get around it. Right now, it feels like the only way to survive this stage of tech is to dive into the deep waters of AI. So, that’s what I’m doing. I’ve spent the last 2 months or so digging into AI tooling and I have lots of opinions. In fairness, I used V0 over a year ago to build out wireframes for 3Mór. I didn’t love it.

TL;DR: So I was just blogging the internet (yes, that’s a thing in my head) and stumbled upon something super interesting. I’ve been learning and researching about it for the past few days, and thought: why not write a blog about it? Mainly because I genuinely believe this idea will sneak its way into most upcoming LLMs. Now, full disclaimer: I’ve only known about this for a few days. So if I mess something up, please comment and correct me that way I learn. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the ride. I’ll try to keep it a mix of funny + tech so it’s digestible and not a nap-inducing lecture. The theme? “The Lazy Genius Inside Your Chatbot.” LLMs don’t generate whole sentences in one shot.

1. What is Variable Shadowing? Variable shadowing occurs when a local variable in a scope has the same name as a variable in an outer scope. The inner variable “shadows” the outer one, so references inside the inner scope use the inner variable, not the outer one. x = 10 # Global variable def my_func(): x = 5 # Shadows the global 'x' print("Inside function:", x) my_func() print("Outside function:", x) Output: Inside function: 5 Outside function: 10 Explanation: The function has its own x, which shadows the global x. The global variable remains unchanged. name = "GlobalName" class Person: name = "ClassName" # Shadows the global 'name' def __init__(self): self.name = "InstanceName" # Shadows class variable p = Person() print(name) # GlobalName prin…  ( 6 min )

Introduction Quick recap of previous article: Showed how to use OpenTelemetry & Jaeger (Docker Tutorial) to trace requests in a Spring Boot app. Focused on tracing to understand where requests spend time. Motivation for this article: Tracing is powerful, but observability is not complete without metrics. Need dashboards & alerts to monitor the health of applications. Goal: By the end, readers will have a Spring Boot app instrumented with Prometheus + Grafana running alongside Jaeger. Difference between metrics and traces: Metrics = system health over time (e.g., request latency, error rate). Traces = detailed view of a single request journey. Show a real-world example: In the Jaeger UI, we see a slow DB query in a trace. That’s useful, but what if we want to know how often it happens and…  ( 10 min )

The explosion of user-generated content (UGC) has made AI content moderation an operational necessity for digital platforms. From in-game chat and livestream comments to social media threads and marketplace reviews, trust and safety teams are under growing pressure to detect harmful content at scale and in real time. As platforms grapple with new regulatory requirements, evolving community standards, and increasing user demand for safe environments, the tools behind moderation are rapidly evolving too. Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) represent two distinct but increasingly overlapping approaches to AI moderation. Both technologies can classify, flag, and score user messages, but they differ significantly in speed, accuracy, cost, and flexibility. This art…  ( 11 min )

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Performance Rundown This UE5-powered remake revamps the PS2 classic with sharper visuals, modernized camera work and updated effects, plus reworked sound and music to fit today’s standards. Whether you’re a series veteran or new soldier, the facelift is clear—though purists might notice subtle tweaks to the original’s vibe. On consoles, PS5 and PS5 Pro offer distinct modes balancing resolution and frame-rate, while high-end PCs easily eclipse them if you’ve got the GPU to match. Our IGN tests show solid performance across the board, but for the smoothest, highest-fidelity experience, PC reigns supreme—with plenty of room to dial things up or down.

Workflow automation is one of those things that often works best when you host it yourself. Why? Because the tools you chain together usually require (sensitive) internal data, self-hosting lets you keep full control while also keeping costs down. That goes doubly so for AI-driven workflow automation—who knows what might happen to sensitive data once it's passed onto the "black boxes" of popular AI efforts. That said, it's easy for any self-hosting effort to get caught up in deployment and security red tape. How are you going to deploy and maintain it? Are you really going to port forward and doxx your IP to the world? A VPN works for sharing with colleagues, but what about external APIs or receiving webhooks? For the first question, that's why Docker exists in the first place. Docker Desk…  ( 10 min )

I was looking at results of the Stackoverflow Developer Survey 2025, and one aspect caught my attention: the percentages relating to developers' confidence in the accuracy of AI tools. As mentioned in the comment on the results related to this question, more developers do not trust AI tools than trust them. In my opinion, this is good news, although I am concerned about that 3% who have a high level of trust in AI tools. This is not to demonize AI tools, but rather to address the evolving role of developers. Some time ago, I wrote an article about whether using a library or framework exempts developers from understanding the specifics of the underlying tools and technologies. I addressed this issue by referring to the cult book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig…  ( 8 min )

GitHub Home About ten years into my career, I experienced a security incident that still gives me chills. We were developing an online trading system for a financial client. A young programmer on the team, trying to take a shortcut while writing an endpoint to query order history, directly concatenated SQL strings. Yes, you read that right—the most classic, textbook SQL injection vulnerability. 😈 A hacker exploited this vulnerability, bypassed authentication, and walked away with the entire user table. By the time we discovered it, it was too late. For the next few months, our entire team lived in a nightmare: cooperating with investigations, appeasing the client, fixing the vulnerability, and auditing all other company projects for similar risks.

Java Type Casting *java type casting * Type casting in Java is the process of converting one data type into another. It is essential when you want to perform operations between different data types or when you need to store a value of one type into a variable of another type. Java supports two types of casting: implicit (automatic) casting and explicit (manual) casting. Type casting is when you assign a value of one primitive data type to another type. In Java, there are two types of casting: Widening Casting(implicit) (automatically) - converting a smaller type to a larger type size byte -> short -> char -> int -> long -> float -> double Here’s an example to illustrate widening type casting in Java Narrowing Casting(explicit) Widening or Automatic type converion Automatic Type casting take place when, the two types are compatible the target type is larger than the source type Example: 2.Narrowing or Explicit type conversion When you are assigning a larger type value to a variable of smaller type, then you need to perform explicit type casting. If we don't perform casting then compiler reports compile time error. Example : Example of Explicit Conversion Here, we have one more example of explicit casting, double type is stored into long, long is stored into int etc.  ( 6 min )

Introduction Arrow functions were introduced in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) and provide developers with a more concise syntax for writing anonymous function expressions. You can use them for short, one-liner functions instead of declaring a regular function. For this tutorial, you need a basic understanding of JavaScript concepts, like: Variables, functions, objects, and event handlers. When working with traditional function expressions, you assign an anonymous function to a variable that you can call later in your code. Arrow functions eliminate the need for using the function keyword in expressions. (Source: Gemini) From the illustration above, the arrow function has no function keyword, curly braces, or return keyword. You eliminate curly braces and the return keyword in single expressions,…  ( 9 min )

Building agentic applications is powerful-but the complexity level starts to rise. Things like managing context, wiring actions, and giving agents reliable access to documentation can eat up time before you even get to shipping features. Not to worry, that's where the new Vibe-Coding Server comes in. What is the Vibe-Coding Server? The Vibe-Coding Server, built on MCP (Model Context Protocol), gives coding agents structured access to both CopilotKit documentation and actual code examples from the repos. Instead of dumping entire pages or manually tagging docs every time, the server automatically fetches only the relevant snippets. This means: Faster responses, more efficient development Lower token usage Better context for your agents With the Vibe-Coding Server in place, you can layer in agentic features Together, they move your agent from being conversational → operational. See it in action here and for better video quality, on YouTube: I recorded a walkthrough of the Vibe-Coding Server in action- including generated code examples, actions, readables, and the drop-in chat component, so you can see how everything fits together. Would love to hear what you're connecting MCP to! Follow CopilotKit on Twitter and say hi, and if you'd like to build something cool, join our Discord.  ( 6 min )

Hi everyone! After a long break, I here with a awesome method from JavaScript. When you visit websites, you often see different colors that make them look attractive. Did you know you can make your webpage change colors randomly with just a few lines of JavaScript? Today, I learned how to generate random colors using hex codes in JavaScript. Let me explain step by step. Colors on the web can be written in different ways, and one of the most popular formats is hexadecimal (hex) colors. A hex color starts with #. It is followed by 6 characters. These characters can be numbers (0–9) or letters (A–F). 👉 Example: #FF0000 = Red #00FF00 = Green #0000FF = Blue Since each position has 16 possibilities (0–9 and A–F), there are more than 16 million possible colors! To generate a random hex color, we…  ( 6 min )

Hey everyone I have created a Random Background Color Changer using JavaScript. This is a fun beginner-friendly project that changes the background color of the webpage every time you click a button. What I Did Created a simple HTML page with a button. Wrote a JavaScript function that generates random HEX color codes. Applied that random color to the background of the page when the button is clicked. Steps I Followed HTML Structure Added a that calls the changecolor() function when clicked. Gave the an id so we can easily target it in JavaScript. Define HEX Digits HEX colors are made from numbers 0–9 and letters A–F. I stored them in an array called color. Random Generator Function Wrote a random() function that picks a random digit from the array. Build a HEX Code Started with #. Used a loop to add 6 random characters to form a complete HEX code (like #12ABF3). Change Background Color Used document.querySelector("#body").style.backgroundColor = hexa; This updates the background color each time the button is clicked. How It Works You click the button. JavaScript runs the changecolor() function. A random HEX color is generated. The color is applied as the new background of the webpage. Every click gives a fresh new color  ( 6 min )

HTML Setup Used a simple HTML structure with a inside a centered container. Title is set as ColorFlipper. CSS Styling Full height body with no margin. Flexbox (display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;) to center the button. Styled button with padding, font-size, border-radius, background, and hover pointer. DOM Selection Event Listener btn.addEventListener('click', colorChanging); -So every time the button is clicked, background color changes. Color Array let color=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,"A","B","C","D","E","F"]; Random Generator Function Wrote a helper function random() that: Uses Math.random() to generate a random number. Multiplies it by array length. Uses Math.floor() to round it down to an integer. Returns one random item from the array. Hex Code Creation Started with let hexa = "#". Used a for loop to run 6 times (since a hex code has 6 characters). Appended 6 random values from the color array to form something like #3A5F9C. Apply New Color document.querySelector('body').style.backgroundColor = hexa; !!......That’s it! We just built a simple yet cool JavaScript Color Flipper using DOM, events, and randomness.....!!

Introduction to Rolling Updates in DevOps In the era of digital transformation, delivering software swiftly and reliably is paramount. DevOps, as a cultural and technical paradigm, champions continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Among the arsenal of deployment strategies, rolling updates have emerged as a cornerstone for achieving zero-downtime releases, especially in large-scale distributed systems. What Are Rolling Updates? Rolling updates involve incrementally replacing instances of an application or service with new versions, ensuring that the system remains available throughout the process. Unlike full redeployments, rolling updates minimize disruption by updating a subset of nodes at a time, thus maintaining service continuity. Why Use Rolling Updates? Zero Downtime…  ( 7 min )

Arrays are one of the most fundamental data structures in programming, and mastering array methods can significantly improve your efficiency and code readability. Whether you're working with JavaScript, Python, or other languages, understanding these key methods is essential. 1. forEach() 2. map() 3. filter() 4. reduce() 5. find() 6. some() and every() some() checks if at least one element meets a condition. every() checks if all elements meet a condition. 7. includes() 8. sort() 9. slice() and splice() slice() returns a portion of an array without modifying it. splice() modifies the original array by adding/removing elements. 10. flat() and flatMap() flat() flattens nested arrays. flatMap() maps and flattens in one step. Conclusion Mastering these array methods will make your code more concise, readable, and powerful. Whether you're manipulating data, searching through elements, or transforming arrays, these tools will streamline your workflow and help you write more elegant solutions.  ( 6 min )

As developers, we pour weeks (sometimes months) into training AI models, writing smart contracts, or scaling apps. But there’s a question we rarely ask ourselves: 👉 How much of that code do we actually own? Think about it: Your logic often runs on cloud platforms you don’t control. Your models live behind opaque APIs you can’t fully verify. Your execution depends on servers you don’t own. At the end of the day, are we really creating assets — or just renting infrastructure? What if ownership meant more than just having source code in a repo? ✅ Have an on-chain identity (with transparent proof it’s yours). That’s the vision we’re building at haveto.com, where developers can deploy AI models and functional logic directly on-chain, using the languages they already know (Python, Go, Rust, etc.), without having to rewrite everything in Solidity. This shifts AI from being “just code” to being: A revenue-generating asset Fully owned by its creator Transparent and verifiable (outputs you can trust) It means developers and startups aren’t just pushing code anymore, they’re creating digital assets with real value. 💭 If your AI models and logic could live fully on-chain, with proof of ownership and direct monetization, how would that change the way you build? 👇 Share your thoughts, I’d love to hear from the dev.to community. 🔗 haveto.com  ( 6 min )

The cloud has transformed how we build, scale, and innovate, but it’s also a magnet for increasingly cunning cyber threats. As organizations lean into hybrid and multi-cloud architectures—92% of IT leaders now manage such setups—the stakes for protecting data have never been higher. In 2024, cloud breaches surged by 75%, with over 80% of companies grappling with at least one significant incident.The global cost of cybercrime is projected to reach $10.5 trillion by the end of 2025, with cloud vulnerabilities fueling much of that damage. As a developer who’s wrestled with securing cloud pipelines, I’ve seen how quickly a single oversight can spiral into chaos. Misconfigurations, now blamed for 99% of cloud security failures, are a glaring reminder that old-school defenses fall short. The rea…  ( 8 min )

(This is Part 2 of my journey. If you haven't read it yet, start with Part 1 here!) Last time, I performed a small miracle: I built, trained, and got a GPT model to generate text using only pure JavaScript. I went through the trenches of debugging gradients, battled NaN values, and ultimately ended up with a working model. It was proof that the fundamental concepts of AI are accessible right in the browser. But a question lingered in the back of my mind: "What if...?" What if I needed performance comparable to a native application? What if I wanted the strict typing and safety that JavaScript can't offer? What if I wanted to turn this educational project into a true high-performance experimental testbed? The answer to all these questions was the same: Rust and WebAssembly. RustyGradi…  ( 8 min )

After stepping back from the "I will never give up" AI issue, I decided to tackle a more fundamental problem: the sync between spec-story-task-test. The question became: which part should be the authoritative source for requirements, examples, API specs, and how do we manage spec updates without creating chaos? From my experience, here's how development typically works: PO builds a document with requirements (or skips to the next step) Split to stories: Either common stories or platform-specific stories (backend, web, mobile) Developers create dev tasks (or work directly under stories) Implementation begins Changes happen during development - but requirements/stories don't always get updated Unsync occurs: If no spec exists, stories (or code) become the source of truth Change requests crea…  ( 14 min )

In today’s fast-paced digital world, speed is everything. Whether you’re building a fintech platform, an e-commerce store, or a social app, users expect instant responses. But as your application grows, database queries and heavy computations can slow things down. That’s where caching comes into play. Think of caching like having a photocopy of a document: instead of rewriting the entire report (expensive database query), you just pull out the copy (cached data). Much faster, right? Laravel makes this super easy with its built-in caching system. Reduce database load → Expensive queries run less often. Speed up APIs → Responses can be served in milliseconds. Save resources → Lower CPU and memory usage, better scalability. The result? A faster, smoother experience for your users. Lara…  ( 7 min )

How to automate contributor operations without writing backend code Decentralized organizations were meant to break free from bureaucratic overhead. Yet, most DAOs today still rely on manual systems that mirror Web2 operations: bounties tracked in spreadsheets, proposals handled via Discord threads, and rewards issued after someone manually verifies a task. Smart contracts may govern treasury access, but contributor workflows? They’re often stitched together with Notion pages and human memory. The result is a coordination bottleneck. As DAO membership scales, so does the chaos. Without an operational backbone, decentralized work feels more like a group chat than an ecosystem. The problem isn't your tooling.

When creating composite indexes for queries in MySQL, the correct order of columns is crucial for performance optimization. We often focus on columns with higher cardinality and place them first in the index, assuming it will boost performance. Example: Tasks Table Consider a tasks table that stores details of tasks assigned to users, with a large volume of data: SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE user_id = ? AND creation_date BETWEEN ? AND ?; A typical approach might be to create an index like this: (creation_date, user_id) But cardinality is not the only factor to consider when creating composite indexes. A wrongly ordered index can lead to significant performance issues, such as slower queries and even full table scans. Although creation_date might have high cardinality, the query structure (equality vs. range vs. sorting) plays a significant role in determining the optimal index order. Since user_id is used in an equality condition, it should come first in the index as it is highly selective. The range condition on creation_date (e.g., BETWEEN ? AND ?) should follow because range conditions are less efficient than equality checks. (user_id, creation_date) Start with equality filters, followed by range filters, and end with columns used for sorting. Without sorting inclusion, MySQL may have to perform an extra sort on the result set. Always test with the specific queries using production data and EXPLAIN plan to find the optimal index for your workload.  ( 6 min )

WTF is this? Quantum-Inspired Computing Edition Hey there, tech-curious folks! Are you tired of feeling like you're stuck in a quantum loop of confusion whenever someone mentions "quantum-inspired computing"? Well, buckle up, because today we're about to demystify this buzzworthy term and make it ridiculously simple to understand. What is Quantum-Inspired Computing? Imagine you're trying to find a specific book in a massive library. A classical computer would search through the shelves one by one, checking each book's title and author until it finds the right one.

1. String in Java Immutable: Once created, the value of a String object cannot be changed. Thread-safety: Since it’s immutable, it is inherently thread-safe. Speed: Slower when doing multiple modifications (because each change creates a new object). Memory: Stored in String Constant Pool (SCP) if created using literals. Objects created with new go to the heap. Example: String str1 = "Hello"; // stored in SCP String str2 = new String("Hello"); // stored in heap Here, modifying str1 or str2 will create a new object instead of changing the existing one. Mutable: Values can be changed after creation. Thread-safe: Methods are synchronized, which makes it safe to use in multi-threaded environments. Speed: Slower than StringBuilder due to synchronization. Memory: Stored in heap. Example: St…  ( 6 min )

Okay, imagine this: you’re playing with blocks. You stack one block, and—boop!—another block magically appears on top. Then another. Then another. You don’t have to keep picking up new blocks; the tower just builds itself. That’s basically what Zapier does for your computer life. It’s like having a magic helper who sees the first thing you do (the Trigger) and then runs off to finish the rest (the Actions)—without you lifting a finger. The Toy Train Trick Think of Zapier like a toy train. The first car moves, and suddenly the whole train follows behind. Trigger car = something happens (like “you got an email”). Action cars = what follows (like “save the picture to Google Drive” or “tell Slack you got mail”). You just push the first car, and Zapier handles the rest. Easy-peasy. Boring Grow…  ( 6 min )

Ever felt like you're writing the same function over and over, just with different types? Welcome to the world of TypeScript generics – where code reusability meets type safety in perfect harmony. Imagine you're building a toolbox. Instead of having separate hammers for nails, screws, and pins, wouldn't it be amazing to have one universal hammer that adapts to whatever you're working with? That's exactly what generics do for your code. Generics allow you to create reusable components that work with multiple types while maintaining type safety.

Say you want to create a function that returns the first item from an array: function getFirstString(items: strin…  ( 8 min )

Okay, let’s be real. Automating something that takes 6 minutes a day sounds dumb. “Bro, why spend 6 hours on this?” But hear me out—this is peak efficiency energy. 6 minutes a day = 42 minutes a week = ~36 hours a year. You just unlocked a whole work week of free time. That’s binge-watching a season, hitting the gym consistently, or finally working on that side hustle. And honestly? It’s not just about saving time. It’s about saving mental bandwidth. Those tiny repetitive tasks eat away at your focus like TikTok scrolling at 2 AM. Automating them means your brain is free for the big stuff—creativity, strategy, or plotting world domination (responsibly ofc). So yeah, maybe you’ll grind for 6 hours now to set up that Zapier workflow, write that Python script, or configure that tool. But future-you will thank you when you’re sipping coffee while your computer does the boring part. Automation isn’t about being lazy. It’s about being smart lazy—and that’s the real cheat code to leveling up.  ( 5 min )

The Problem – Why Doctors Need Smarter Transcription Physicians spend up to six hours a day on clinical documentation, often more time than they spend with patients. Traditional transcription systems are: Slow and delay critical workflows. Error-prone, especially with complex medical jargon. Lacking built-in compliance for HIPAA/GDPR. Adding more clicks and screens instead of simplifying tasks In 2025, AI-powered transcription is shifting this paradigm, allowing doctors to talk naturally while AI creates real-time, accurate, and compliant notes, freeing physicians to focus on care instead of clerical work. Why Most Solutions Fail to Gain Adoption Despite AI’s promise, many medical transcription tools miss the mark due to: Subpar Accuracy (85–90%): Standard speech-to-text systems fail w…  ( 7 min )

GitOps and DevOps are two terms that get thrown around in conversations, job specs or in tech blogs all the time. They sound similar though. They are both part of the modern software practices and yes sometimes they get mixed up, but they are not the same thing. Let’s break it down. DevOps is a way of working. DevOps brings development and operations teams together, to deliver software faster, more reliably and with fewer silos. Instead of the developers writing code and then throwing it over the wall to the IT operations teams, the DevOps practice promotes and encourages collaboration from day one. Part of DevOps is also bringing in automation and tools like CI/CD pipelines to speed things up and catch problems earlier. DevOps is a culture or a mindset. It’s not a single tool or pl…  ( 6 min )

TL;DR (yes, read this first): You’re debugging a production incident at 2 a.m. You’re laser-focused on the logging pipeline, but your app is actually failing because of a stale TLS certificate. You missed it because your attention was doing a great job… at ignoring everything else. That mismatch — attention helping you and attention hurting you — is the Awareness Paradox. It shows up in ORs, rocket launches, interviews, and chatbots. And if you design systems (or lead teams), you need to turn this paradox into a tool, not a trap. Start simple. In the famous “Invisible Gorilla” experiment, people counting basketball passes often failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit walking through the scene. inattentional blindness — not a bug of human willpower, but a fundamental property of attent…  ( 10 min )

As indie hackers, makers, and developers, we all share a common pain: too many tools, too much noise. Sometimes, you don’t need a bloated SaaS with a hundred features. Sometimes, you just want a simple, minimal, no-BS tool that solves your problem. That’s the idea behind JustSimple.tools – a curated directory of lightweight, no-frills tools for indie hackers, developers, and creators. I’ve been building indie projects for a while, and I noticed that: I waste hours testing tools that promise a lot but deliver little. I often need something fast, clean, and distraction-free. Many “all-in-one” platforms are overkill when I just need one feature. So I started collecting tools that are minimalist by design — and that’s how JustSimple.tools was born. Think of it as your personal …  ( 6 min )

What is EUDR and Why Should You Care? The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a game-changing environmental law that came into effect in June 2023. It's designed to stop the import of products that contribute to deforestation and forest degradation worldwide. But here's the kicker: it affects any business that imports or exports certain commodities to/from the EU market. EUDR covers seven key commodities: Timber and wood products Coffee and cocoa Soybeans and palm oil Beef and leather Rubber products If your business deals with any of these products, you're now legally required to prove they're "deforestation-free" through comprehensive due diligence statements. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines, product seizures, and even market exclusion. This is where www.eudr-…  ( 13 min )

Peanuts feed their ego in linear time Hi! I'm Asparagos — an asparagus who codes in Go. Here you’ll find everyday problems that a typical veggie might struggle with — and my Go solutions to them. Today we are solving the problem of The Smartest Peanut in the Neighborhood 🥜. Remember how the walnuts once tried to find out who was the smartest? Now it's the peanuts' turn, though their approach is a bit different. Peanuts don't care about being the smartest among all nuts. They just want to feel smarter than their nearby neighbors. You’re given the cleverness levels of peanuts planted in a row. For each group of k consecutive peanuts, determine which peanut is the smartest. Is it a hard nut to crack? A slice of integers — each integer represents the cleverness level of a peanut in the row. k…  ( 8 min )

💡 “I can see it… but why can’t they?” That’s the silent frustration millions of visually impaired users experience daily. Imagine landing on a beautifully designed website only to find that the “Sign Up” button blends into the background. You squint. You zoom. You guess. Eventually, you leave. This is where color contrast steps in—not as a fancy design trick, but as a gateway to accessibility, usability, and inclusion. In today’s digital world, accessibility isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether you’re a web developer, UI/UX designer, or digital entrepreneur, understanding and applying proper color contrast can mean the difference between a design that excludes and one that welcomes everyone. Why Color Contrast Matters According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2.2 billio…  ( 7 min )

Key Reasons Developers Are Switching Performance & Speed: Pair APIs with SSR/SSG in frameworks like Next.js or Nuxt for fast, SEO-friendly sites. Omnichannel Delivery: Create content once, publish to web, mobile, kiosks, even IoT. Scalability: API-first architecture plays nicely with microservices and cloud. Developer Freedom: Use React, Vue, Svelte, or anything else without CMS theme lock-in. Security: Decoupled content layer reduces attack surface on the public frontend. Popular Headless CMS in 2025 Builder io — visual editing + developer-friendly API. Sanity io — real-time collaboration and flexible schemas. Strapi — open-source and highly customizable. Contentful — mature ecosystem and enterprise features. Payload CMS — self-hosted option for full control. When Headless Might Be Overkill You only need a tiny brochure site and won’t iterate much. No developer time is available to wire up a frontend. Discussion RW Infotech helps teams implement headless CMS and modern web apps without the bloat.  ( 6 min )

In competitive programming and interviews, range queries (like "find sum of elements from index L to R" or "find minimum in a subarray") are extremely common. Naïve solutions often take O(n) per query, which is too slow for large inputs. To handle millions of queries efficiently, we use Segment Trees and Fenwick Trees. You’re given an array of numbers and must support operations like: Range Sum Query: sum(L, R) Range Minimum/Maximum Query: min(L, R) Point Updates: update a single index efficiently Represent the array as a binary tree, where each node stores information about a segment (range).

Why Kubernetes Matters for AI (Setting the Stage) Let's be honest: I've worked in multiple deployments and AI workloads differ from standard web applications. Deploying a large language model, recommendation engine, or GPU-intensive computer vision pipeline is far harder than operating a React frontend or a small backend service. These devices use a lot of resources, including GPUs, TPUs, large memory pools, quick disc I/O, distributed clusters, and incredibly efficient auto-scaling. That's precisely what Kubernetes (K8s) is for. Fundamentally, Kubernetes functions as a traffic cop, power grid, and app repair system. It ensures that resources are allocated equitably, that containers do not collide, and that when something dies—which is inevitable in AI—it simply spins it back up. Put ano…  ( 17 min )

When you're running any public-facing service—even in a homelab—you may eventually run into hostile traffic, including potential DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attempts. One simple but effective first step is blocking known malicious IP addresses. This SafeLine WAF rule library focuses on blacklisting IPs that were flagged for repeated suspicious traffic. It’s perfect for self-hosters, hobbyists, or small teams looking to keep unwanted requests off their network. Immediate mitigation: Stops repeat offenders before they consume resources. Early defense layer: Useful before implementing more advanced DDoS mitigation. Good for small deployments: Lightweight rule set, easy to maintain for homelabs or self-hosted apps. The Rule in SafeLine Rule library name: Suspected DDoS IP addresses Applies to: SafeLine v7.3.0 and above Lists: Whitelist: None Blacklist: 1 Blacklist Rule: Name: DDoS source IPs Match type: Source IP equals Example IPs (truncated): 111.193.229.85 221.218.208.93 111.196.184.203 ... 125.34.19.241 221.216.132.195 (Use the full list in your SafeLine console.) Open your SafeLine WAF management console. Create a new IP-based rule under your target policy. Add the listed IPs to the blocklist (source IP equals). Save and deploy. Important Notes Keep it updated: Threat IPs change constantly. Update your blocklist regularly. Combine with other measures: IP blocking alone won’t stop a large-scale DDoS. Consider rate limiting, geo-blocking, and upstream protections. Test before deploying: Especially important if you’re unsure about false positives. Join the SafeLine Community If you continue to experience issues, feel free to contact SafeLine support for further assistance. GitHub Repository Official Docs Discord Community  ( 6 min )

GitHub Home It was another Black Friday. At 3 AM, my phone started screaming like crazy. 😱 It wasn't my alarm; it was the monitoring alert. Our flagship e-commerce service, the system we had poured six months of hard work into, had crumbled like a paper house in the face of peak traffic. CPU at 100%, memory overflows, and logs filled with timeout errors. 💸 That night, we lost millions in sales and, more importantly, our users' trust.

When working with data warehouses, one question comes up often: how do we give context to raw numbers? That’s where dimensions come in. They provide the “who, what, where, and when” around facts. For example, a sales figure of ₹50,000 on its own doesn’t mean much. Add product type, customer details, and location — suddenly the number tells a story. In any data warehouse, there are two key table types: Fact Table → Stores the actual numbers like sales, revenue, or quantity. Dimension Table → Stores descriptive details such as product name, customer ID, region, or time. Common Types of Dimensions Here’s a quick breakdown of the major dimension types you’ll see in real-world projects: Conformed Dimension – shared across multiple reports (like Date or Customer). Junk Dimension – groups small indicators (payment status, return flag). Degenerate Dimension – no separate table, lives in fact table (e.g., invoice number). Role-Playing Dimension – one dimension used in multiple roles (Order Date, Ship Date). Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) – tracks changes over time (customer address history). Snowflake Dimension – normalized into sub-tables (Product → Category → Department). Outrigger Dimension – linked to another dimension (Store → Region). Inferred Dimension – placeholder row created when some data is missing. Why It Matters Dimensions aren’t just theory — they’re how industries build reports, dashboards, and decision systems. From e-commerce tracking customer behavior to healthcare monitoring patient records, dimensions make analytics possible. If you’re exploring data engineering or analytics, practicing dimension design is a great starting point.

Target SDK Updates Are Breaking Apps in 2025 — Here’s the Fix Google Won’t Tell You It was a normal Tuesday. Coffee in one hand, Android Studio in the other. I hit Build → Generate APK… and 💥 my app imploded. A rejection email from the Play Store popped up: “Your app must target API level 35 (Android 15) or higher to publish.” Every year, Google bumps the Target SDK requirement. And in 2025, failing to target Android 15 (API 35) means one thing: rejection. But bumping the SDK isn’t just a number change — it breaks real features. When I bumped my booking app from API 31 → API 34 (Android 14), chaos unfolded: ❌ Location-based hotel search stopped working (background location restrictions) ❌ Flight reminder notifications didn’t show up (background restrictions) ❌ Camera froze during ID upload (foreground service changes) What should’ve been a one-hour update turned into a 3-day bug marathon. Here’s what actually worked for me: 📖 Read the Android 15 behavior change docs carefully 🛠️ Used Android Studio’s Migration/Upgrade Assistant 📱 Tested on real devices, not just emulators ⚡ Fixed edge-to-edge layouts & new permission flows That’s just scratching the surface.

Two years ago I made a simple Elm package to scratch my own itch, named agj/elm-knobs. I wanted a simple interface to tweak constants dynamically in order to see how they affect a visual algorithm (which was just a project I was working on for fun; I'll post about it if I actually get around to finishing it). I found a few packages that get close to what I wanted, but nothing matching precisely my needs, so I just coded the thing and eventually turned it into a simple package. The intended use-case for the package is squarely prototyping, so I didn't put effort into making it look nice or visually versatile. What I did though is add “knobs” (interactive controls) for primitive types (Int, Float, String, Bool) and a few non-primitives. The way it works is through a Knob a type value, where…  ( 9 min )

The AI landscape just witnessed a seismic shift. On July 11, 2025, China's Moonshot AI dropped what many are calling "another DeepSeek moment" with the release of Kimi K2 – a revolutionary open-source AI model that's not just competing with industry giants like GPT-4 and Claude, but actually outperforming them in critical coding benchmarks while costing a fraction of the price. As developers, we've all been there – wrestling with complex codebases, debugging mysterious errors, or trying to orchestrate multi-step workflows that seem to require an army of tools. What if I told you there's now an AI that doesn't just understand your code but can actually execute, debug, and even automate entire development pipelines autonomously? Kimi K2 isn't your typical large language model. Built on a Mix…  ( 10 min )

When working with Google Compute Engine (GCE), storage plays a critical role in performance, durability, and availability of your applications. One of the most commonly used storage types in GCP is the Persistent Disk (PD). This post will walk you through Zonal Persistent Disks and Regional Persistent Disks, their features, and when to use each. Persistent Disks are network-attached block storage that can be attached to VM instances in Google Cloud. Unlike local SSDs, PDs are independent of the VM lifecycle – meaning data remains intact even if a VM is stopped or deleted. PDs can be used as: Boot Disks – To run your operating system. Data Disks – To store application and user data. 1️⃣ Zonal Persistent Disk Data replicated in a single zone. Lifecycle is not tied to the VM instance – you ca…  ( 7 min )

Is functional programming really worth learning? Why do so many developers give up halfway? I’ve been writing Python for over three years. I love its clean syntax and the “just run it” simplicity. Functional Programming (FP) is the real elegance. So I picked the “purest” language I could find — Haskell. My expectations: Code would look like math formulas. No messy state, no hidden bugs. Elegant, academic, cutting-edge. Reality: I stumbled even at “Hello World.” I had to understand Monad before I could print to the screen. Want a loop? Sorry, there are no loops in Haskell — only recursion, map, and foldr. For example, in Python I could write: def greet(name): print(f"Hello, {name}") But in Haskell, I had to write: main = do putStrLn "Enter your name:" name <- getLine putStrLn ("H…  ( 9 min )

Developers often deal with data in multiple formats — JSON, CSV, YAML, and yes, XML. While JSON has become the modern standard, XML still powers many APIs, configuration files, and legacy systems. Reading XML in raw form can feel overwhelming, especially when working with deeply nested nodes. That’s why we’ve extended our JSON Viewer Tool to support XML visualization. 🚀 Why Visualize XML? XML is structured but not always human-friendly. Visualizing it helps you: Quickly understand hierarchies and relationships. Spot patterns in large or complex XML files. Transform XML data into interactive graphs and trees for better exploration. Compare XML with other formats (JSON, YAML, CSV) in a single workspace. How It Works Upload your XML file directly into the tool. The viewer automatically parses your XML into a structured format. Explore your data in: Tree View: See the hierarchy clearly. Graph View: Visualize nodes and relationships interactively. Table View: Flatten structured XML for tabular analysis. Use Cases Debugging API responses from XML-based services. Analyzing configurations (like .plist, .svg, or Android manifest.xml). Converting XML data to JSON/YAML for modern applications. Teaching or presenting how XML structures work with diagrams. Final Thoughts Whether you’re migrating from XML to JSON or just need a better way to make sense of complex XML documents, our JSON Viewer Tool makes it easier with clean visualizations Try 👉 jsonviewer.tools uploading your XML file today and instantly turn text into diagrams.  ( 6 min )

A bite‑sized lab that shows exactly how subnets, availability zones, and security groups work together—while you launch a real web server the right way.

“Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion.” — W. Edwards Deming Whether you’re launching a new feature, redesigning your app, or tweaking a call-to-action button, product decisions can feel like a gamble. What if users don’t like it? What if conversions drop? This is where A/B testing comes to the rescue. It’s one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for making data-backed decisions instead of relying on guesswork. At its core, A/B testing is an experiment. You take two (or more) versions of something, show them to different user groups at the same time, and measure which one performs better. Example: Testing the color of a “Sign Up” button. Version A → Green button Version B → Blue button Version C → Red button If Version B consistently drives more signups, yo…  ( 7 min )

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): Unlocking the Power of Sequences Have you ever wondered how your phone understands your voice commands, how Netflix recommends your next binge-worthy show, or how Google Translate effortlessly converts languages? The answer, in many cases, lies in the fascinating world of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Unlike traditional neural networks that process data independently, RNNs are specifically designed to handle sequential data – information where order matters, like text, audio, and time series. This article will unravel the magic behind RNNs, exploring their core concepts, applications, and challenges. Before diving into the intricacies of RNNs, let's establish why sequential data is unique. Consider a sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy…  ( 10 min )

I recently had the opportunity to review and make some updates to the foundational chapter of Authorization Academy, Oso’s series of technical guides, entitled What is Authorization? Here’s a brief overview of the key takeaways from this guide. At its core, authorization defines permissions—determining what actions a user or agent may perform on particular resources in your application. These are often bundled under "auth," but they serve distinct roles: Authentication confirms identity. Using a physical world analogy, authentication is like getting into the front door of a house. Authorization decides what you can do once you have been authenticated. Continuing on the analogy above, it determines which rooms in the house you can access once you’re in the front door. Authorization checks can occur at various points: Initial connection or request middleware Web server or router level Business logic layer within the application Database or data-access layer itself The Authorization Academy chapter details each of these approaches. In exploring the different enforcement layers, we use the following framework: Actor - Who is making the request Actions - What are they trying to do Resources - What are they doing it to Later chapters explore common access patterns such as role based access control (RBAC) and relationship based access control (ReBAC). A robust permissions system separates: Data: the resource being accessed Logic: the rules defining permissions Enforcement: where decisions are applied Permissions decisions can be implemented in-app, via centralized services, or using a hybrid architecture. Authorization tends to be invisible to end-users but is foundational for secure applications. Recognizing common authorization patterns—such as centralizing enforcement or maintaining policy separation—makes the logic easier to manage and reason about. I’m looking forward to working on updating the next chapter, and plan to summarize it here!  ( 6 min )

Introduction In the era of LLMs, specifically in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), retrieval algorithms play one of the most important roles. The better the retrieval results, the better the context provided to the LLM, and the better the responses it generates. The method of retrieving information is also the backbone of search engines. However, this blog only talks about retrieval specifically for providing context to LLMs. The way it works is by ranking documents based on their relevance to the given query. Retrieval algorithms can be classified based on how the relevance score is computed. A relevance score is a numerical measure that indicates how well a piece of information matches a given query. The two common retrieval methods are: Term-based Retrieval and Embedding-based Ret…  ( 7 min )

TL;DR Hybrid Prompt Chaining combines Gemini CLI (fast context discovery and analysis) with Qwen Code (specialized synthesis and reporting). Benchmarks across six repositories showed it consistently outperforms single-shot prompts with: Up to 72% faster execution 36–83% fewer tokens used 91.7% success rate across tests The result: actionable, project-aware outputs that deliver higher ROI than brute-force single-shot approaches. A CTO friend recently called me frustrated. They’d spent $2,400 on “instant code analysis” AI tools that generated generic templates their senior engineers couldn’t use. Meanwhile, a competitor shipped a new feature in three days, using a workflow my friend had never heard of. That workflow was hybrid prompt chaining, a method that combines the strength…  ( 9 min )

We all have that one bug — the kind that drains your time, patience, and sanity. I recently ran into one, and honestly, it taught me more than any tutorial ever did. I was working on a feature that should’ve been simple: fetching data from an API and showing it on screen. The tutorial I followed covered exactly this. But when I ran my app, the data just wouldn’t show up. No errors, no warnings — just empty placeholders. I checked my API endpoint — it worked perfectly in Postman. Then I looked at my fetch request headers and payload. I triple-checked the state updates and rendering logic. Everything seemed fine. I even cleared my browser cache, just in case. Still, no data. After hours of banging my head against the wall, I slowed down and reread the tutorial — this time paying attention to the small details I had skimmed. That’s when I realized the bug wasn’t in my code but in how I was handling asynchronous state updates. In React, state updates don’t happen immediately. If you try to access the state right after setting it, you might get stale or empty data. I was logging the state right after updating it, expecting the new value, but React hadn’t updated it yet. Patience and paying attention to details beat rushing through tutorials. Tutorials can show you what to do, but they often skip the why. Understanding your tools really matters. Knowing how React schedules state updates saved me from going in circles. Debugging is one of the best ways to learn. That bug pushed me to dig into the docs and experiment, instead of blindly copying code. Lesson Learned At first, that bug felt like a huge setback. But it ended up being one of the best learning experiences I’ve had. Sometimes the hardest problems don’t just test your skills—they sharpen them. So next time you hit a wall, don’t just fix the bug. Step back, dig deeper, and let it teach you something new. Thanks for reading! If you’ve ever had a bug that totally changed how you think about coding, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.  ( 6 min )

GitHub Home I still vividly remember that Friday midnight. I, a man in my forties who should have been at home enjoying the weekend, was instead in a cold server room, the hum of fans buzzing in my ears, and a stream of error logs scrolling endlessly on the terminal before me. What was supposed to be a "simple" version update had turned into a disaster. The service wouldn't start, the rollback script failed, and on the other end of the phone was the furious roar of a client. At that moment, staring at the screen, I had only one thought: "There has to be a better way." We old-timers grew up in an era when the term "maintenance window" was a fact of life. We were used to pausing services in the dead of night, replacing files, and then praying that everything would go smoothly. Deployment was…  ( 11 min )

In Go, a weak pointer refers to a reference that does not prevent the garbage collector (GC) from reclaiming the target object. When an object is only referenced by weak pointers and has no strong references, the GC will still treat it as unreachable and reclaim it; afterwards, all weak pointers to it will automatically become nil. In short, a weak pointer does not increase an object’s reference count. When an object is referenced only by weak pointers, the garbage collector can free it. Therefore, before attempting to use the value of a weak pointer, you should check whether it is nil. weak Package in Go 1.24 Go 1.24 introduces the weak package, which provides a concise API for creating and using weak pointers. import "weak" type MyStruct struct { Data string } func main() { o…  ( 9 min )

After months of building in stealth, we're finally ready to open the doors. Registration is now live at: https://mutiny-land.vercel.app/ Every founder faces the same challenge: having a vision but needing the right people to make it real. The current landscape is fragmented - you've got networking events, accelerators, job boards, and investor platforms, but nothing that truly aligns ideas with the people who can execute them. At Mutiny's core are two complementary AIs designed to guide founders through the entire journey: Mut — The critical investor who stress-tests ideas for real viability. Think of Mut as your skeptical partner who asks the hard questions before anyone else does. Iny — The empathetic CEO who champions people, purpose, and solutions. Iny focuses on the human elements that make ideas worth pursuing. Together, they help you find co-founders, team members, investors, and advisors who don't just have the right skills - they share your convictions. Signal your focus areas - from climate hardware to neurotech to creator infrastructure - and get matched with aligned collaborators, stealth startups, or investors who actually understand what you're building. Community-backed capital is held in escrow and released only when goals are met. Every spend is visible. No more black box funding decisions. Mutual NDAs by default On-chain idea hashing to prove authorship Privacy-first matching algorithms Whether you're: A founder refining an idea An investor seeking conviction-driven projects A builder looking for your place in the ecosystem Mutiny is designed to connect the right people at the right time with the right level of transparency and trust.

Understanding the UIKit foundation helps you: Debug issues more effectively using familiar UIKit knowledge Set realistic expectations for customization capabilities Optimize performance by understanding underlying mechanisms Make better architectural decisions when choosing between SwiftUI and UIKit Before we dive in, here's how you can see the UIKit layer yourself: Run your SwiftUI app in Xcode Navigate…  ( 7 min )

Today, you will create your first repository in Git. In this lesson from Skillcrush 105, students learn what a repo is, why developers like to use them, and how to create one. Skillcrush students create their first repo and use some new Git commands to look at the history inside a repo. As you continue working in Git, you’ll often hear developers talk about creating a repo. Git is a desirable skill because it is great for tracking file changes. Git enables easier access to past versions and maintains the file's history. Repo is short for a repository. When developers create a repository, it means that the directory and files are being put into version control or are getting ready to track changes.  Creating a repo is similar to how a car goes through a car wash.

In this video, I show my real workflow for turning a rough idea into clear, client-ready documentation—using AI. I take a simple church visitor intake example (QR code → form → database → emails/postcards) and use T3Chat (GPT-5 Reasoning) to generate: A high-level Product Requirements Document (PRD) An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) with Mermaid syntax Database tables and fields you can drop into a spreadsheet Flow and swimlane diagrams you can paste into Mermaid Live Editor This approach helps with client discovery, statements of work (SOW), estimates, and aligning technical and non-technical stakeholders—without needing super-detailed prompts. What you’ll learn: The exact prompt structure I use to get PRD, ERD, tables, and diagrams How to paste Mermaid output into Mermaid Live Editor for instant visuals How to validate requirements with teams/clients using generated docs Tips for exporting tables to spreadsheets for easier reviews In the context of system design, a swimlane diagram is a powerful tool for visualizing the interactions and responsibilities between different components within a system element like microservices, APIs, databases and external system. Resources mentioned: Full document output Mermaid Live Editor: https://mermaid.live Alternative AI tools to try: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude If you want the exact prompt I used, grab it in the link above. Drop your questions and share what AI tools you’re using for requirements and docs—I’ll feature some in a future video. i need to create a solution for mu church group to capture information from guests and have a way for them to scan a QR code that launches a web app for them to enter information for us to add them to a system. the system needs the ability to export the list so i can then create welcome post cards to send to them. if they provided and email address that we could send an email if they opted in.  ( 6 min )

To us, a flower looks like a splash of color. To a bee, it’s a visual map. Many flowers have ultraviolet patterns invisible to humans but clear to pollinators. These markings act like landing guides, directing bees straight to nectar. UV flowers, insects disguised as leaves, octopuses blending into coral... Secrets can sit in the open, plain and boring, until you know the key that reveals their hidden meaning. Nature has been “hiding” information this way for millions of years. Humans, too, learned the same trick: the best way to conceal a message is not just behind locks or codes, but inside something that looks completely ordinary. The Romans, for example, wrote with milk that dried invisible, leaving a letter that looked blank until heated. To most, it was an innocent sheet of parchment…  ( 9 min )

When people talk about network security, the focus often goes straight to firewalls, intrusion detection, or encryption. But before all that, there is a more basic question: what is actually on the network? That is where probing comes in. Probing is simply the process of exploring and mapping a network to understand what devices and services are running. It is often the very first step in penetration testing, red teaming, or even just checking your own WiFi security. One of the most popular tools for this purpose is Bettercap. Bettercap is a powerful, modular tool designed for network monitoring, man in the middle attacks, reconnaissance, and security testing. Think of it as a Swiss army knife for network exploration.

This called for what I like to call the "morning speedrun": shower at 2x speed, coffee inhaled rather than consumed, and the ancient art of looking presentable in under 5 minutes. Made it to class with seconds to spare, only to spend the entire lecture mentally checked out. You know that feeling when your body is physically present but your consciousness has wandered off to contemplate the meaning of semicolons? That was me for two straight hours. The actual learning happened after class when my co-founder pulled me aside…  ( 7 min )

I recently set out to build a full-fledged SaaS website from the ground up – and it turned out to be surprisingly smooth once I picked the right tools. By layering AI-powered helpers with modern frameworks, I streamlined every step from coding to content. In this article I’ll share everything I used – from ForgeCode (an AI CLI coding assistant) to ChatGPT and beyond – to develop my site faster, smarter, and with fewer headaches. If you’re curious how these tools work together to supercharge a development project, read on! ForgeCode (CLI-based AI coding agent) I started every day coding with ForgeCode – a command-line AI pair programmer that lives in my terminal.

This tutorial walks through an integration between the Snowflake Cortex Completion API and LaunchDarkly's AI SDKs. We'll be using a Snowflake Personal Access Token to query the Cortex API and receive completion responses. Leveraging Snowflake's gateway approach to completions alongside LaunchDarkly's ability to make runtime changes to AI Configs, you can update the models, prompts, and parameters that you're using in the Snowflake endpoints in real-time. This tutorial is presented in TypeScript, but since we're using Snowflake's REST API it's universal to any language in which you can access Snowflake. Snowflake additionally has a Python package that can be used to access their AI and ML functions. If you are new to Snowflake, there is some setup you'll need to do to get an application r…  ( 14 min )

This content is really just an ad for a livestream and a course bundle from music guru Rick Beato. He's promising to break down the "hidden harmonic genius" inside The Beatles' song We Can Work It Out to explain their 1965 songwriting magic. The real meat of the text, though, is a hard sell for his "Labor Day Mega-Bundle," a collection of six music theory and guitar courses offered at a steep discount. So, it's less of a lesson and more of a sales pitch using a Beatles hook. Watch on YouTube  ( 5 min )

Author: Jake Runzer We've released Railpack — the next iteration of the Railway builder, developed from the ground up and based on everything we’ve learned from building over 14 million apps with Nixpacks. We first announced Nixpacks nearly 3 years ago and it quickly became the default way to build images from user code on Railway. While Nixpacks works great for 80% of users, that still left us with 200k Railway users who might encounter limitations daily. It became clear we needed a major builder upgrade to scale our user base from 1M to 100M. Here are the highlights of Railpack: Granular Versioning: Support for major.minor.patch versions of packages (instead of Nix’s approximate versions) Smaller Builds: We’ve been able to reduce image sizes between 38% (Node) and 77% (Python), enablin…  ( 9 min )

In 2020, I published a blog post titled Importance of Cloud Strategy where I explained that cloud strategy is essential for organizations because it aligns the technology with the business goals. As technology evolves, since ChatGPT was released in November 2022, everybody is talking about AI, GenAI (or any technology from the same domain) – from newspapers to social networks, analysts, CEOs, your developer colleagues, and up to your family and friends. For that reason, I thought it would be important to write a blog post explaining why organizations need an AI strategy. Having a clear plan for using AI helps a company make sure that its efforts with artificial intelligence support what matters most to the business and actually make a difference, instead of just trying out random experi…  ( 15 min )

It has been proven that the best way to solve a complex task is to divide it into smaller tasks. Some people create a to-do list in a notebook, some draw a diagram, others prefer to keep the plan in their minds. And, of course, many of the engineers use TODO comments in their code, not to forget something. What may go wrong? One //TODO: here and one //TODO: there. But as a result - no one ever takes care of those comments. Everyone is afraid of touching them: what if it is something important? There is always an endless list of tasks in the task manager, and there is no task to treat the abandoned TODOs. If you haven't observed something like that, are you sure? (Lucky you!) "What is she talking about?" - you may think, as these types of comments are extremely popular and an absolutely nor…  ( 7 min )

Leapcell: The Best of Serverless Web Hosting In the world of Go, "type safety" is a core feature emphasized repeatedly—the compiler acts like a strict doorman, preventing you from force-converting an int pointer to a string pointer and forbidding arbitrary modifications to a slice’s underlying capacity. However, there is one package that deliberately "challenges the rules": unsafe. Many Go developers feel a mix of curiosity and awe toward unsafe: they’ve heard it can drastically boost code performance, yet also cause programs to crash unexpectedly in production; they know it can bypass language restrictions, but remain unclear on the underlying principles. Today, we’ll lift the veil on unsafe completely—from its principles to practical use cases, from risks to best practices—to help you …  ( 22 min )

I always wanted to capture the real trade-offs we face at work. We talk a lot about product thinking, but most of the time engineers learn it the hard way, by breaking things in production or living with tech debt for months. So I started a small project called InMind Lab. The idea is simple: put developers into interactive comic stories where they play as the main character and make choices. Do you skip tests to ship faster? Do you cut scope or take on tech debt? Each decision has an outcome that feels close to what happens in real projects. The fun part is that it looks like a comic. The hard part is the pipeline behind it. I had to combine: a way to write scenarios with branching decisions, generation of panels with dialogues that are short and natural, keeping the whole story realistic for a developer (not a product manager), and making sure the language is clear and engaging. It took many iterations. At first the dialogues sounded robotic. Sometimes the outcomes were too optimistic. Or the panels did not match the situation. Balancing realism and fun was harder than I thought. Last week I finally managed to ship the first playable stories. It feels rough, but it already shows what is possible. You can try it here: https://inmindlab.hyperskill.org/stories 🤪 Another thing I still need to work on is performance. Right now the stories take a while to load from the database, and it breaks the flow. This is high on my list to fix, because I want the experience to feel smooth and instant. I would love feedback from fellow developers. Does it feel real? What trade-offs should I add next?  ( 6 min )

Back 20 years ago I was the organizer of the local #Perl community. We had in-person meetings with presentations. It was rather intimate as we were usually 10-15 people and we knew each other. These days I organize events for both the local #Python and #Rust groups. We call them communities, but I feel that the people are a lot less connected to each other. I guess part of the reason is that at each meeting there are 30-50 people and half of them are new. It is good that a lot of people attend our events, but we know each other much less than in the good old days. Of course I also grew by 20 years so maybe I am just old and grumpy. One of my problems is that it feels that there are two classes of people: "speakers" and "listeners" and I really don't like that. I believe everyone can contribute from their experience or even from their lack of experience. For example I love presentations about "I am learning X, these are the things I found interesting, these I found problematic". I love these because at the end many of the participant also struggle with learning these thing so seeing others struggle helps put things in proportion. In addition, hearing newcomers struggle with something help the more experienced people see where things (explanations, documentation etc.) needs to be improved. Besides, I saw so many experienced people find out about aspects of languages and libraries only the newcomer noticed. So we can also learn a ton from these newcomers. My attempt to bridge this gap is having ad-hoc lightening talks (less than 5 min) at in-person events and have online chats where people can talk about the things they learn about or struggle with. What other strategies do you think might help?  ( 6 min )

生成 AI は、大量のデータを分析し、指示に基づいてデータの意味ある箇所を特定し、要約することに優れています。データのソースは何でも構いません。あなたのメールの受信箱、ローカル上の大きなテキストファイル、またはインターネット上のウェブページなど。大量のデータを含む大きなタスクは完璧にこなせなくても、タスクを効率よくスタートさせることができます。私が開発者からよく相談される話題の一つは、AI をどのようにビデオコンテンツの分析に活用できるかということです。マルチモーダル LLM は大きく進歩してきましたが、1 時間ほどのライブストリーム録画を取り込んで要約させたり、ソーシャルメディアで共有するためのクリップを提案してもらったりできるレベルにはまだ達していません。この問題を解決するためには、本記事で紹介する少し異なるアプローチを取る必要があります。 HLS メディアをローカルにダウンロードし、 MP4 形式に変換 MP4 ファイルの文字起こしを作成 AI エージェントを用いて、文字起こしを元にクリップ候補となる開始/終了タイムスタンプを特定 特定されたタイムスタンプに基づいて MP4「クリップ」を作成 作業の要約を生成 このソリューションの実装では、新しい Strands Agents SDK を試してみることにしました。Strands Agent SDKはエージェント構築のための比較的新しいフレームワークであり、エージェントがプロンプトへの応答を生成する際に利用できるツールを簡単に定義できることが特徴です。このソリューションでは、エージェントが実行されるマシンに FFmpeg と Whisper がインストールされている必要があります。私はローカルで作業していますが、FastAPI や他の Web フレームワークを使用してサーバーベースのソリューションに簡単に変換でき、Doc…  ( 12 min )

Having multiple themes is a common request on (web) applications nowadays, at least having light, dark, and system (define dark/light automatically from the user's system).

Originally published at Perl Weekly 735 Hi there, In the recent couple of weeks Mohammad and some others got really excited about the TIOBE index indicating that Perl has got a lot more popular recently. I doubt that. It is way more likely to be a measurement error. I mean they say that Perl jumped from 25th place to the 9th place in one year. Also Ada jumped from the 30th place to the 13th place. Who is writing in Ada and what? Anyway, let's assume there is interest in Perl. Wouldn't it be a good idea to convert that to meetings and presentations? I went overt the list of Perl Monger groups.

Code reviews are more than just a quality gate. They’re one of the most important ways developers learn from each other, share context, and maintain long-term code health. But here’s the thing - how you give and receive feedback directly impacts your team’s productivity, trust, and willingness to collaborate. Over the years, I’ve learned that good code reviews are as much about psychology as they are about syntax or architecture. Why the Human Side Matters Understanding this helps you approach reviews with empathy and clarity. The goal isn’t to “win” or “prove” something - it’s to make the code and the team better. How to Give Feedback That Lands Well Start with context, not just corrections: Before pointing out a change, make sure you understand why the code is the way it is. Ask question…  ( 7 min )

Everyone's talking about Google & MIT's new privacy AI. Most will cheer and move on. The real leverage is up for grabs if you act fast. Here's how ↓ Big data always forced a painful trade-off. More insight meant more privacy risk. That equation just changed. Google and MIT created an algorithm called MaxAdaptiveDegree. It redistributes statistical weight inside your data set. Rare but valuable patterns surface. Sensitive personal traces stay buried. You see what the market wants without seeing who asked. That flips the old growth-versus-trust dilemma. An online retailer tested it on 50 million search logs. ⚡ They discovered a 17% rise in niche product queries that never showed before. ☑ No customer identity left the server. ↓ Use this three-step playbook before your next data sprint. • Map your questions to aggregate metrics, not individuals. • Run MaxAdaptiveDegree or a similar privacy engine on raw tables. • Validate insights against a holdout set to avoid false spikes. Teams report decisions 35% faster because compliance reviews shrink. Budgets shift from data cleaning to product experiments. Privacy stops being a cost center and becomes a selling point.

In this article, I share my somewhat random and disorganized thoughts and experiences on using AI for software development. Subscribe to my newsletter if you enjoyed this article. Recently, I stumbled upon the AI-first developer approach – when you start most of your tasks by asking AI to do it, and then decide whether it was a good idea or not. Similar to a dog that eats everything and then decides whether it was edible or not (I used to have one of those dogs – a remarkable creature!). It seems that people either worship AI as a tool that can do everything (and will probably replace us all by lunch next Wednesday), or reject it completely. I think such a black-and-white approach is counterproductive and dangerous in the long term. I think the truth is somewhere in-between. For me, it’s …  ( 11 min )

Automation is no longer optional. Every modern engineering team — from early-stage startups to large-scale enterprises — is under pressure to automate workflows, reduce manual effort, and integrate disparate systems. But here’s the dilemma developers face: Do you write custom automation with code, or rely on a no-code platform that promises speed and accessibility? It’s not a trivial choice. Going too deep into no-code can create shadow IT and scaling nightmares. Going too heavy on code can waste months building systems that a visual workflow could have delivered in a day. In this article, we’ll break down the technical trade-offs developers should consider when choosing between code automation, no-code automation, or a hybrid model that leverages both. When we talk about code automat…  ( 9 min )

Ever wondered what really happens in those few seconds between asking ChatGPT a question and getting an eerily perfect answer? Here's the fascinating journey your query takes through the digital mind of AI. I'll be honest with you – I used to think AI was basically a fancy search engine. You type something in, it finds the answer somewhere on the internet, and spits it back out. Boy, was I wrong. The reality is so much weirder and more fascinating than that. When you ask an AI system something like "Why do cats purr when they're happy?", you're not just triggering a database lookup. You're setting off this incredible chain reaction of mathematical processes that somehow end up producing human-like thoughts and responses. After spending months diving deep into how these systems actually wor…  ( 12 min )

My IOT@Home stack is based on ESP8266 boards, ESPHome, Home Assistant, and InfluxDB. Each component has a dedicated role: ESPHome is the tool to configure and manage the boards and their sensors, Home Assistant integrates all boards, provides dashboards for their data and automation options, and finally InfluxDB is for long-term data retention. During trying new sensors, a limit to the sensor network became apparent: Sensors can only be added if they are within Wi-Fi range. Working on this limit, I tried first to build a custom external sensor that uses radio frequency to transmit data, and also investigated the OpenMQTT Gateway project.

Designing your storage system is like maneuvering a parachute: you’ll only know it’s working when things go wrong. I’ve spent years working on large-scale scalable storage systems at tech giants like Microsoft and Meta. What works for millions can collapse spectacularly at billions. Systems that once felt fail-safe can start to falter—latency can arise, failures can multiply, and every assumption can get stress-tested in real time. At Meta’s scale, the usual playbook doesn’t cut it. You’re designing for global availability, fault-tolerant architecture, and low-latency access across billions of daily interactions on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. How you design storage directly affects user experience worldwide. Over the years, Meta has developed a distinctive storage architecture that…  ( 10 min )

Agency owners face a brutal paradox. You need accurate time tracking to bill clients and optimize operations. But manual timers kill developer focus and produce garbage data. Your team hates stopping mid-flow to click buttons. Clients question inflated hours. Projects bleed profitability. What if you could track time like Stripe tracks API usage? No manual intervention. No interruptions. Just an accurate, automated measurement that builds trust with everyone involved. This is the meter-based approach to time tracking. It transforms hours from manual entries into automated events, creating transparency and reliability that scales with your agency.

I originally posted this post on my blog a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. In 2023, I burned out. I checked all the boxes for the first time. The burnout boxes. It wasn't a good thing. And it took me almost an entire year to recover. I know I'm not the only one, of course. It's all over the tech industry. In recent weeks, I've been exchanging emails with another senior software engineer who went through a burnout season. His take? The tech industry is unsustainable. These days, I've also been chatting with a group of colleagues and friends. Most of them claimed to experience some sort of boredom at their jobs. OK, boredom isn't burnout, but it's a warning sign. YMMV, of course We work long hours. Coding is mentally exhausting. AI threatens us to take our jobs. Layoffs are always around the corner. Agile and SCRUM take control away from us and trap us in "ceremonies." We're problem solvers at heart, but often we don't get to solve problems. We're expected to code after hours just to prove we're "passionate." Side projects and open source contributions. We have high standards for quality and development practices. But stakeholders' expectations don't align ours. They care about different things. The toll? Our mental health. Burnout. The solution? I don't have one. Sorry! My best idea? Detach our sense of meaning from our jobs Recognize there's nothing wrong with coding just to pay the bills Set boundaries between work and non-work Diversify our sources of joy Do you think burnout is inevitable in tech? Are you actively doing something to prevent burnout? If you have faced burnout, how did it get over it? Let me know in the the comments. Starting out or already on the software engineering journey?

Google Cloud Storage Block Storage → Persistent Disks (Zonal & Regional), Local SSDs, Hyperdisks. Zonal Persistent Disk: Data replicated in a single zone, independent of VM lifecycle. Regional Persistent Disk: Data replicated across two zones in the same region, offering higher durability. Local SSD: Ultra-fast local block storage tied to the VM lifecycle, meant for temporary data. File Storage → Filestore, which provides managed NFS file shares for applications needing shared file systems. Object Storage → Cloud Storage, a globally available, highly durable, and scalable object store for unstructured data. • General Use: Hard Disks attached to VMs • At any point of time one Block Storage Device can be connected to one VM in Read-Write Mode • We can attach Read-Only Block Storage Devices to Multiple VMs • One VM can be associated with Multiple Block Storage Devices Recent & Latest: Multiple VMs can connect to a Block Storage Device in Read-Write Mode and that feature is called Multi-Writer Disks Block Storage Types in General • Direct-attached Storage (DAS): Regular HDD, SSD Zonal Persistent Disk Data is replicated within a single zone. Independent of the VM lifecycle (can persist even if the VM is deleted). Standard option for most workloads. Regional Persistent Disk Data is replicated across two zones in the same region for higher durability. Also independent of VM lifecycle. Suitable for high availability scenarios. Local SSD Provides high-speed block storage physically attached to the VM host. Lifecycle is tied to the VM instance (data is lost when the VM is stopped or deleted). Best for temporary or cache-type workloads where performance is critical. 👉 In short, Persistent Disks (Zonal/Regional) focus on durability and independence from VMs, while Local SSDs prioritize speed but are tied directly to the VM lifecycle.  ( 6 min )

Introduction: What Is Amazon EBS and Why Does It Matter? Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is AWS’s scalable, high-performance block storage service designed for use with EC2 instances. Think of it as a virtual hard drive in the cloud—one that you can attach, detach, resize, and persist independently of your compute resources. Unlike the ephemeral storage that comes with EC2 instances (which vanishes when the instance is stopped or terminated), EBS volumes are durable and persistent. This makes them ideal for storing critical data like: Databases and transaction logs Application files and binaries Backups and snapshots Media assets or user uploads EBS volumes are also highly configurable. You can choose between SSD-backed volumes for fast IOPS or HDD-backed volumes for throughput-h…  ( 6 min )

The Rest Day That Wasn't Yesterday was scheduled as a rest day. My brain disagreed. Today was supposed to compensate, but by nightfall, I remembered exactly why I work—and it's not what you'd expect. Here's the uncomfortable truth: I don't work because I'm motivated. I work because when I don't, my mind spirals into random thoughts that drive me insane. I start craving human connection like I'm the protagonist in some friendship-power movie. Spoiler alert: Life isn't a movie, and coding has become my mental survival strategy. Today's action: 20 frontend internship applications sent out. My Tech Stack: React ⚛️ Tailwind CSS 🎨 API Integration 🔌 AI-powered development workflow 🤖 The Cover Letter Experiment: 2-3 weird, creative cover letters (sometimes memorable > professional) 17-18 standard professional applications Minimum expectation: $70/month Can any of you help with it after our 75 days of journey Currently preparing to ship the landing page for my latest project. Built with React, styled with Tailwind, featuring AI integration for high-speed outputs. The Real Question: How many people will actually sign up for early access when I drop that email form? I'm genuinely curious about the gap between interest and action in our developer community. Looking for suggestions on where/how to apply effectively. My skills are solid, my expectations are realistic, but the application process feels like throwing darts in the dark. What I bring: Production-ready React development Tailwind CSS mastery API integration experience AI-assisted development for rapid prototyping Honest work ethic (even if the motivation is unconventional) Anyone else use work as a mental escape mechanism rather than following passion?

Overview Have you ever had that odd feeling that we're all living in a simulation? If you have, you are not alone. Many people have thought about this, resulting not just in amazing sci-fi entertainment content but also in the simulation theory which is constantly being backed up by more people. Simulations need to be populated by digital characters to give some sense of realism. However, defining exactly what makes these characters realistic is very difficult since it can be very subjective. Nevertheless, it can be broadly divided into two main categories: how realistic their visual representation is (rendering and animations) and how realistic their behavior is. That last category is the area which I’m more interested in, and what I’m currently researching as part of my master’s in com…  ( 9 min )

Introduction IAM user access keys are the normal way to access AWS from an external source. Generally this is the method to use for machine/code access to your AWS estate. This is ok, but come with some issues: Long lived credentials expand the window of opportunity for an attacker to exploit the access key. Rotating secrets can be hard to manage; synchronising credentials rotating with third parties can be complex. It just doesn't scale, anything over a handful of access keys becomes hard to manage. The AWS preferred solution is to use AWS IAM Roles Anywhere for workloads outside of AWS. Short term rotating credentials Uses industry standard X.509 certificates Reduces management complexity Although a bit more complex to set up, AWS IAM Roles Anywhere is a much more elegant, scalable so…  ( 9 min )

When we perform a network scan, there are a few terms that often pop up and confuse beginners. One of them is the idea of channels and channel numbers. If you have ever seen a scan output that shows something like Channel 6 or Channel 11, you might wonder what that really means. Think of WiFi like a busy road. Many cars are moving in different lanes. If all cars tried to squeeze into the same lane, it would become messy and slow. WiFi channels work in a similar way. A channel is simply a small slice of the overall frequency band that WiFi uses. Instead of all devices communicating on the exact same frequency, the band is divided into multiple channels. Each channel is like a lane on that road, letting different devices talk without colliding too much. For example: In the 2.4 GHz band, ther…  ( 7 min )

In a world where political systems collapse, alliances wobble, and everything seems to be on fire, one would at least hope the developer tools might offer a shred of stability. They don’t. I’ve worked with many ecosystems in my developer life. The one that has devoured the most of my sanity? Node. The idea is decent, no complaints there – but the sheer amount of time I’ve sacrificed just to get a dev stack breathing borders on ritual self-harm. Dependencies that loathe each other, transitive nightmares, versions that refuse to coexist – the chaos is biblical. Running npm install feels less like software engineering and more like rolling dice in front of an indifferent god of dependencies. Sometimes it works. Most of the time: head → desk. And then there’s Python. Honestly, it’s worse. Setting up environments isn’t development, it’s a horror show. Each setup feels like a new boss battle in a game nobody wanted to play. Pipenv, virtualenv, Poetry – all cheerful names, all equal pain. These days I mostly write Go. And frankly, I’m not going back. No virtualenvs, no Gradle, no cathedral of node_modules. Just go build, and it runs. Sure, Go has its quirks – private repos that act like they’ve never met you, or go mod tidy deciding to improvise like a drunken jazz band. But that’s all manageable. Nothing requiring daily therapy. I like Go. The language. The ecosystem. The peace.  ( 6 min )
